Video was perfect! Every real SX/MX fan realizes that. They take in every little piece of action they can.

The everything about the video was perfect (except the rider is a kewk). The slo-mo is cool to study the riding style and what not. Thanks for sharing.

Damn, Reedy looked good out there. Looks like he's really getting the bike dialed in. Maybe it's just me, but he looked better in the corners than I've ever seen him (maybe that common complaint about the YZs isn't something the factories can even totally overcome - good luck with that Bubba).

Great video as usual from Simon - I hated the music in that one though.

maybe, but, it makes you realize just how fast that mofo is once regular speed is engaged. I like it.

Actually there are some sections that it looks to me that the video was sped up.

Chad is looking really good in that video, very comfortable and confident looking. He's really hitting the turns hard and looks very quick . This year could be very interesting, Chads got alot of great support behind him this year. DeCoster as your team manager, is there any better person for that position? I dont think so imo. The goose turning wrenches for him. again is there anyone better? I dont think so again. and to top it off that RM450 is possibly the best SX weapon on the circuit. Chad and Suzuki are doing there homework, and are looking very impressive. Chads got the cards stacked in his favor this year to be able to make a run for a second number one plate against James, who he will have his hands full with. But I really do believe James could possibly have some teething issues adjusting to some of the cranky YZ450 handling issues. Either way I'm looking forward to a possible great 09 season, with the 2 established stars duking it out and maybe a win or two from the new kid on the block.

Chad is the type of rider that needs to be pushed to go fast... he only goes as fast as he needs to. It shows in that vid.

Cool vid, thansk for sharing.

You are comparing apples and oranges dude. On one hand you are defending James because he is ridiculed by the color of his skin. Like i pointed out it is unfortunate and terrible that it is still happening to this day. On the other hand though. I am comparing how everyone reacts to the SX only contract. Also how every word is being broken down and judged so critically for Chad and not James. Jump on the bandwagon bud. Most people are there. Its the new cool thing to do. Poke fun at the racers when you are behind a computer.
You are right, I wasn't sure if you were kidding or not, LOL. Poking fun is good, but there are some people her that take real personal, I do too sometimes, I guess it human.

I am sure Roger is very happy to have Reed. He’s the best test rider Suzuki has had in a long time.

Looks like Chad likes his suspension on the soft side. The bikes seems to be bottoming out before each take off. It'd be great to see one of James for comparison (hint hint :-)

James is blazing fast but not much of a test rider. Ferry was brought into kawi for his testing abilities.

Still nice to get the footage though.

It wasn't slo mo...the videos were shot with special hig speed cameras with the ability to catch Stewart without it being too blurry...it makes everyone else seem like slow mo...

I think these videos should be edited with two stroke sounds. Maybe that's just wishful thinking, but it's the world I'd like to live in.

I didn't see anything in that video that makes me think Reed is any faster on yellow than he was blue.
Gawd, that music sucked!
Maybe if you live in Kansas, you got off on seeing that video.
The video looked good, just didn't see anything that great with Chad's riding.
By the way, I am a big fan of his.

I cant imagine the troubles James will have with the chopper blue bike, remember the problems he had with the KX250...doh..I better keep quiet, they took my advice last time.

Thanks for the Vid. Reed looked PDQ. Wonder how much he will benefit from the GOAT's R&D. I like CR's gear also. Looked like Team Husky from 75. Cool
